In preparation for a new school year, Handbag Heaven University snagged a little closet inspiration from the most put-together college gals and twenty-somethings we know. Take a peek at how they styled the must-haves featured on our college closet timeline, and be sure to check back regularly for more college-to-real-world style cues!
Our latest HHU highlight is the ever-adorable Elly of Flying Elephants. This style blogger has a flair for pairing chic patterns, colors, and textures together in ladylike and playful ways. We love Elly’s zest for life that shines through her blog and her outfits! Browse Elly’s college-to-real-world staples, and take a tip or two for pulling them off as effortlessly as she does:
